The Emmys have started with a song whose chorus was “We Solved It,” a comic ode to the diversity of nominees — and Hollywood self-satisfaction.

“Saturday Night Live” stars and Emmy nominees Monday night Kate McKinnon and Kenan Thompson started the song, pointing out that Sandra Oh could become the first woman of Asian descent to win an Emmy.

The comedians sang: “There were none, now there’s one, so we’re done.”

They were joined by Tituss Burgess, Kristen Bell, Sterling K. Brown and Ricky Martin, who declared the song “too white” and gave it a Latin turn.

Andy Samberg showed up to ask in song if there was a place for a straight white male in the song before being sent off. Martin and Samberg were met with loud cheers inside Microsoft Theater.

The group gave way to the night’s hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost, who continued to riff on Hollywood diversity and the sexual misconduct scandal that has roiled the industry.

4:45 p.m.

John Oliver says Hollywood’s biggest award shows are “terrible gigs” for the hosts, not fun or glamorous.

The host of “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” was feeling empathy on the gold carpet for this year’s Emmys hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost from “Saturday Night Live.”

Che and Jost, in their black tuxedos, were among the first to walk down the carpet before the show on Monday afternoon.

Oliver says the audience is tense and as the night goes on the crowd becomes increasingly resentful since most of them don’t win.

“This Is Us” stars Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia aren’t walking the golden carpet together at the Emmys, but bumped into each other in the long line for photos.

The two actors, who are married on the show, met in the middle Monday to pose for some pics and even took a few selfies with fans walking by.

Ventimiglia also waved over his co-star Justin Hartley and wife Chrishell Stause to say hello.

Elsewhere, another “This Is Us” co-star, Sterling K. Brown, says he loves the regular-guy role he plays on the NBC hit series.

Brown, nominated for lead actor in a drama, an award he won last year, says it’s nice going to work every day playing a character who “didn’t kill people, he’s not secrets and lies. He’s trying to find the best part of himself to share with humanity.”

RuPaul, fan in hand, leaned over a rope and stanchion to hug Margo Martindale of “The Americans.”

Heidi Klum fixed her hair before stepping out for the cameras and Issa Rae of “Insecure” looked up from her phone to wave to LaKeith Stanfield of “Atlanta.”

Elsewhere on the carpet, “Insecure” actress Yvonne Orji and “This is Us” actor Justin Hartley posed for selfies with fans.

George R.R. Martin, author of the books behind “Game of Thrones,” got cheers from the fan bleachers. One person yelled, “Finish the book!” to laughs, referring “The Winds of Winter,” the very-long-awaited next volume in the series.

The sprawling golden carpet for the 70th annual Emmy Awards is heating up as security readies for the deluge of television stars headed for the Microsoft Theater Monday afternoon.

NBC’s Natalie Morales and Hoda Kotb were among the very early arrivals, making their way down the carpet before the inevitable traffic jam of bodies. Extra host Mario Lopez, who has a foot injury, zipped down the carpet on a tiny scooter keeping his left leg off the ground.

Although the temperatures in downtown Los Angeles are in the 80s, arriving attendees will not have to bear the brunt of the heat. The carpet area is covered by a massive tent and an army of industrial-size ceiling fans.

As Emmy Award nominees nervously wait to hear their name called, or not, there’s more on the line at Monday’s ceremony than personal glory.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” is the defending best drama series champ, with past winner “Game of Thrones” its top rival.
